According to the company, the starter’s features include:
• offers the highest torque output (60 N-m) in the industry;
• is the lightest weight (approximately 23 pounds) starter in the industry;
• is interchangeable with competitor 11 and 12 tooth pinion models; and
• is based on proven designs.
According to Denso, the compact and lightweight design of its new 5.0 allows for easy installation, and reduces vehicle weight. The high torque model maximizes starting power and improves cold starting, while the slow rotating engagement improves the durability of pinion and ring gear, the company said. The needle bearing in-drive housing allows for long life operation of the vehicle.
